The Bear's Head

incorporating the Lea Sculling Championships
Sunday 13th December 2026

Lea RC's annual day of whole club festivities: racing, lunch and party!

  • Our annual event for Lea RC members only: a timed race from The Gate to Lathams (approx. 2700m).

  • Traditionally for small boats, it has grown over the years to include fours, quads and stable boats.

  • The most prestigious events are the single sculls, with the fastest crowned Champion Sculler of the Lea.

  • Following racing we warm up indoors with our annual Christmas lunch and a party into the night.

  • This is our biggest fundraiser of the year and all the takings go towards our fabulous club!
